Q:i have a slightly small mitral valve leak in my heart. my cardiologist say nothing to worry about, but i am not sure. can some one explain if it would eventually lead to some complications?

Dear Madam, I am a cardiologist sending this article for you. Hope it helps you. Mitral valve prolapse, sometimes called MVP, is a common heart valve disorder. The mitral valve is between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart. It has two leaflets (flaps) that control the blood flow. MVP occurs when one or both of the leaflets are enlarged or have extra tissue. MVP is usually harmless. However, major complications can occur, including a blood clot in the brain and an infection called infective endocarditis involving the mitral valve as well as other valves. MVP appears twice as often in women as in men. It is most commonly a hereditary disorder. Some people with MVP have no symptoms. However, most patients experience a rapid or irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, light-headedness, and chronic fatigue. Many patients also suffer from migraines, eating and sleeping disorders, an overactive or inflamed thyroid gland, diarrhea, and cold hands and feet. Emotional stress often magnifies the symptoms. Doctors generally prescribe regular exams and aerobic exercise for people who have MVP. Patients also are advised to restrict their intake or use of high-carbohydrate foods, caffeine, and decongestants. Some patients may need beta-blockers and specific antiarrhythmic medication. More severe cases may require surgery to repair or replace the valve or to insert an electronic regulator, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator.

Q:How to control the single acting pneumatic butterfly valve?

There are single acting pneumatic head, we must pay attention to often open or normally closed, we must pay attention to.

Q:I HAVE A 2003 FORD EXPEDTION THAT IS IDLE ROUGH,AND WILL EVENTUALLY STALL. TODAY I FOLLOWED THE PCV VALVE HOSE TO THE BACK OF THE THROTTLE BODY AND NOTICED THERE IS A BIG HOLE ON THE ELBOW OF THE HOSE. HOW CAN I CHANGE IT? CAN I JUST FORCE THE HOSE OUT AND SIMPLY PUT A NEW ONE? BEEN HAVING THIS ROUGH IDLE /STALL PROBLEM FOR A WHILE I CLEANED IAC VALVE, THROTTLE BODY CHANGED THE AIR FILTER AND ALSO CLEANED THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, I HAVE A P0171 system to lean(bank 1) code

just undo the clamps, and pull. it may need some wiggling and tugging, as its been on there for 9 years now without moving. put on your new hose, and replace the clamps, and youre done. next time, try not using all caps. it doesnt make us want to answer your question anymore just because its in caps, in fact, maybe a little less.

Q:In the pipeline attached building Atlas 05S502, in the middle of a water meter and check valve, the two sides are divided into two butterfly valve, want to ask why to arrange this way, what is the role of the two butterfly valve?

Check the water gauge and check valve on both sides to facilitate the maintenance and replacement of water meter and check valve.

Q:Butterfly valve use

On the pipeline, mainly from cutting and throttling. Butterfly valve headstock is a disc shaped disc, in the valve body around its own axis of rotation, so as to achieve the purpose of opening or closing or regulation. Butterfly valve is fully open to fully closed is usually less than 90 degrees, butterfly and butterfly stroke itself has no self-locking capability, in order to position the disc to install the valve stem on the worm gear.

Q:can't locate freon intake valve for 03 jaguar an was wondering were it is located at

There is no Freon intake valve for an 03 Jaguar. Freon is R12 refrigerant and the vehicle uses an R134a refrigerant system. There is also no such thing as an intake valve on any vehicle refrigerant system. There is a high pressure port and a low pressure port. To answer your question: under the hood. Any other information would likely endanger your life, since this is obviously a DIY question and you lack the knowledge to safely recharge your vehicle's refrigerant system. R134a refrigerant, if inhaled, can kill you. Do not turn a DIY project into a DIE project. Leave the complicated stuff to the professionals.

Q:What is the effect of nylon coating on butterfly valve plate? Thank you

Mainly media will not be contaminated by rust on the body, you should say that the central soft sealing butterfly valve, the central valve is generally cast steel or cast iron material, so useNylon coatingLining up. There are soft seals, sealing performance is relatively high

Q:Who was the first doctor to discover Pulmonary Valve Stenosis? Also, who was the first doctor to perform surgery for it? Please and thank you for your help.P.S. I have this condition.

1761 - Pulmonary valvar or valvular stenosis is one of the more common forms of congenital heart malformations and it has been extensively studied since the original description of pulmonary valve stenosis by John Baptist Morgagni in 1761. 1888 - Tetralogy of Fallot, first characterized by Dr.Etienne Fallot in 1888, is present in about 3000 children born each year in the United States. It is a combination of four heart abnormalities. Dodrill and his colleagues employed it with success for the open correction of a stenotic pulmonary valve in October 1952.

Q:What's the difference between a clip type turbine butterfly valve and a flanged turbine butterfly valve?

The clip type valve bolts are generally longer, in high temperature conditions, bolt expansion may lead to leakage, so the high temperature conditions are not suitable for large diameter.But for the end and downstream pipeline occasions need to remove the clip on butterfly valve is generally not, because when the downstream flange dismounting clamp down, the valve will fall down, it must do in order to remove the nipple, and the flange type butterfly valve does not exist on the surface of the problem, but the cost will be relatively high.

Q:Whenever sports cars are referred, people talk in terms of 'valves'. ex: v8, v12 etc. What does this all mean? Also they sometimes say that a v8 makes a great noise. why? How does the number of valves effects the performance? Many thanks.

When talking about car engines, references such as v4, v6, v8, v10 and v12 are not for the number of valves. it is for the number of cylinders. The more cylinders that an engine has, the more fuel it consumes and most of the time, the more horsepower it can make. There are exceptions to this though. Regarding the noise of the engine, i would agree that a v8 sounds very good when it is roaring. Valves are actually the openings for fuel to get into the cylinders and the exhaust to come out from. Most modern engines have two valves for incoming fuel and two valves for the exhaust making a total of four valves per cylinder. hope that clears it for you
